He was forcibly deported under Soviet rule. Here's what he thinks about the Ukraine war

Pictures have emerged of Mariupol residents arriving in Siberia by train. Ukraine says they were forcibly deported, prompting comparisons to an ugly chapter in the history of the Soviet Union, when millions of people were forcibly taken to remote parts of the Union to crack down on dissent. CNN's Scott McLean spoke with Enno Uibo about his own experience as a forced deportee from Estonia to Siberia.
